Young Adults More Trusting of Advertising

November 14, 2010 |

No consensus on who is trusted to regulate advertising industry

New York, NY – If advertising is created to sell a product, service or even an idea, it’s helpful if the message is not only clear but also believable to the intended audience. However, only one in five American adults say they trust that advertising is honest in its claims all or most of the time (19%). Rather, a majority say they trust that advertising is sometimes honest in its claims (65%) and just over one in ten say that they never trust that advertising is honest in its claims (13%).

These are some of the findings of a new Adweek Media/ Harris Poll, survey of 2,098 U.S. adults surveyed online between October 5th and 7th, 2010 by Harris Interactive. «Read the rest of this article»

APSU Men’s Football

Clarksville, TN – Austin Peay State University quarterback Trent Caffee continues to show improvement but remains in St. Thomas Hospital in Nashville after suffering a neck injury during the second quarter of Saturday’s loss to Murray State.

The senior quarterback was injured while attempting to scramble for a first down against Murray State. On the play, his helmet was ripped off by a would-be tackler and helmet-less Caffee then had his head slammed into the shoulder pads of a defender before being taken to the turf where his head made contact with the artificial surface.

Austin Peay hopes to have more information when it becomes available.

Nuristan Province, Afghanistan – At the beginning of an eight-hour firefight against insurgents, U.S. Army Spc. Brit B. Jacobs, a combat medic from Sarasota, FL, assigned to Company C, 2nd Battalion, 327th Infantry Regiment, Task Force No Slack, fires his M4 rifle from a remote hilltop in the Shal Valley in eastern Afghanistan’s Nuristan Province November 7th.

“My attitude as a medic is if I can end the evil, the bad stuff the enemy’s doing before they can hurt one of my guys, before I have to do my job, then that’s a good day for everybody,” said Jacobs. “Here in Afghanistan, you go to a combat zone and that’s where you earn the title combat medic. You’re treating causalities that get hit or wounded from enemy shots or explosions.”

The Weekly Market Snapshot from Frazier Allen

By Frazier Allen | November 14, 2010 |

Market Commentary by Scott J. Brown, Ph.D., Chief Economist

Scott J. Brown Ph.D., Chief Economist Raymond James Investment Services

The economic data calendar was thin. Weekly claims for unemployment insurance benefits fell, but the numbers are normally choppy during this time of year (still, the underlying trend may be edging down due to better seasonal hiring this year). The September trade deficit was a bit narrower than assumed in the advance GDP report. Imports and exports fell sharply during the recession (narrowing the trade deficit considerably) and partly rebounded in the recovery (leading to a resumed widening of the deficit). However, recent figures suggest a flattening in these trends (and perhaps some stabilization in the size of the trade deficit, at least in the near term).

There was much interest ahead of the G-20 meeting (as with any such meeting), but these things always disappoint. The G-20 communiqué suggested no progress on reducing global imbalances or relieving monetary and fiscal policy tensions. The euro weakened on renewed sovereign debt worries (this time focusing mostly on Ireland, where austerity moves have done nothing to instill confidence). «Read the rest of this article»

Daily Devotional from Brother Shepherd

November 14, 2010 |

Good morning! Good morning! Good morning! “It is a day that the Lord has made. Let us rejoice and be glad in it.” There is an old song that says, “Every Day with Jesus is Sweeter than the Day Before”. I wonder sometimes why that is true and I’ve come to the conclusion that if I learn a little bit more about Jesus and His character and His love for me that each day does get a little more sweeter.

In a few days my wife will be celebrating her birthday and I might add she gets sweeter each day, (now that ought to get me in good with her). «Read the rest of this article»
